    Good on you Andy - how far had you ridden before going for that distance ? I try to keep to 10% further than my previous longest route and ignore the effect of hills - but then again I keep stupid spreadsheets of all kinds of ride data and over-analyse everything

    yeah i had to push up a hill the other day. But i was quite pleased when i got to the top it said it was 1 in 4. so i think i was justified.

    Ahh - my '10% further' rule might have avoided those 10 miles when you suffered :lol:

    I'm only jealous
